解 利西南。无所往。其來復吉。有攸往。夙吉。 无咎。

无咎。

Without blame.

田獲三狐。得黃矢。貞吉。

One kills three foxes in the field and receives a yellow arrow.   Perseverance brings good fortune.

六三   6 in the 3rd

負且乘。致寇至。貞吝。

If a man carries a burden on his back and nonetheless rides in a carriage, he thereby encourages robbers to draw near.   Perseverance leads to humiliation.

解而拇。朋至斯孚。

Deliver yourself from your great toe.  Then the companion comes, and him you can trust.

六五   6 in the 5th

君子維有解。吉。有孚于小人

If only the superior man can deliver himself, it brings good fortune.  Thus he proves to inferior men that he is in earnest.
